Mick.:
Lots of folks ask 'why i get spammers in my forum', 'i have lots of spam', etc.

Let me tell you,.... i dont get spammers at all on my working 5 years old forum.

Simple, i run SMF RC3 and a couple mods.....

1. First off, i use SMF's RC integrated security question. The question used is related to my forum genre. I run an automotive forum and the question is simple. "How many spark plugs a Chevy Avalanche has?" Answer is 8.

Do bots know this? No.

Dont make question like: "What color is the sky?", "What color is the grass?" or "2+2=?" Make your security question related to your forum genre that your guest know the answer to.

2. I also use SMF's integrated "profile Fields".....(also available in the mod site for 1.1.x users). a. text b. selection
